Tho Chnmeleon's Coloratlon.

But of all the parti colored reptiles the
chameleon is by far the best known, and
on tho whole the most remarkable for his
Inconsistency of coloration. Like a LAGER
tine Vicar of Bray, he varies incontinently
from buff to blue, and from blue back to
orange again, under stress of circumstan-
ces. The mechanism of this curious
change is extremely complex. Tiny cor
puscles of different pigments are some
times hidden in the depths of the chame-
Icons skin, and sometimes spread out on
Its surface in an interlacing network of
brown or purple. In addition to this
prime coloring matter, however, the ami
NAL also possesses a normal yellow pig
ment and a blush layer in the skin
which acts like the iridium glass SO largely
employed by DR.. Salviati, being seen as
straw colored with u transmitted light,
but assuming a faint lilac tint against an
Opaque absorbent surface. While sleep
ing the chameleon becomes almost white
In the shade, but if light falls upon him
he slowly darkens by an automatic pro-
cess. -Cornhill Magazine.

In the first place, there is the presenta-
ton smile Of society. You arc presented
to Z lady, who not only bows to show
that she puts herself at your feet, and
perhaps gives her hand to show hat she
docs not mean to pull hair or scratch Il
still follow the doubtless correct evolu-
ton theory of ceremonials). but she
smiles and smiles" to show that her
mood is one of sweet %amiability, and that
you are therefore, for the present, safe.
Thon there Is the pretty, pearly, rip
ping laugh, with which your "nut
brown anecdote, which has been heard
already twice this evening, is received.
Here, certainly, there is no pent- up cas-
cade of emotion that seeks for an outlet.
Tho sweet lady's laugh is partly for your
sake, that you may feel the soft thrill Of
self applause and partly for her own,
because she knows she laughs well. She
pulls it exactly az II it were a stop in an
organ.
Thon thoro is the bitter laugh of the
sad, sad young man, who wishes TO I'M
press upon your mind the hollowness
that all things have for him; and the
well managed smile of Jacques, the elder
cynic, who thinks thus to wither your
youthful aspirations and at the same
time to suggest his own unfathomed
deops OF cruel disillusion. - Atlantic

at South Kensington tho l~oveliest sub
urb of London, the inhabitants are suf-
foring from an immense influx of rats,
and no Pied Piper of Hamlin can rid
them of tho pests. 1t is in this pretty
spot that tho annual exhibitions are held,
when, with an enormous attendance, the
consumption of viands is on a Gargan-
tuan scale. AT such periods the rodents
will not look at a trap but live on the fat
of the land. but when tho exhibition is
closed and tho edibles of all kinds have
been removed, they become reckless, and
rush into tho traps as fast US they are get,
paying no attention to their situation
until they have devoured the bait.
When their hunger has endured some
time, they revert to c%annibalism, falling
always upon the young and weak mem
bers of tho rat community, and destroy
ing them 30 utterly that, Nature says,
at the present time there cannot be
found u single young rat in tho building.

MISREPRESENTATION OF Judi
CIAL DECISION.

Considerable misrepresentation is likely
to arise from the sense which the Chey-
enne Sun-following closely in the wake
of the Laramie Boomerdng-attributes to
a recent decision Of Chief Justice Magin-
mis-. The idea is held out to the public
that Judge Maginnis has ruled that a man
who has proved up on public lands has
not sufficient property upon which to base
a contract Of mortgage or sale. This is
wholly erroneous:
Judge Maginnis has held that the
United States, so far as its public lands
are concerned. stands upon precisely the
same footing with a private proprietor.
After final certificate issues, the land may
be either sold or mortgaped, and in case
the law has been complied with, tie trans
fer will be good. But the purchaser only
takes such title as the entryman may
either have acquired or have shown him
self entitled to acquire at a future date.
Fortified by long line of decisions from
the time OF Marshall to the present day.
the chief Justice has simply declared the
law as 1t exists. Any idea hat such dec.
l~aration eau operate detrimentally to the
territory is wholly imaginary. Men will
still advance money on the security of
final proof, and it is easy for
parties, especially in the neighbor.
hood of the land. to ascertain whether
the land has been taken up in good faith.
Fit has, the ownership of the entryman
is complete; if it has not, the purchaser
is taking all the risks. Judge Maginnis
has ruled that the claim of any innocent
purchaser is good against the United States
when patent has passed the title, but when
patent has not been issued, the purchaser
takes only such estate as the seller him .
self has in the land. This is not only law,
but it Is also plain common sense. In
stead Of disturbing the security OF inves-
tors who might advance upon the faith OF
final proof and payment made on public
lands, this decision has rather strength
enee it, since title is held to be indeieasi-
BILE upon performance OF the conditions
required by law. The omen an entry
has been perfected in good faith, it be-
comes property az absolute as any convey
ance can grant. 1t is also worth noting
that the rights Of an innocent purchaser
attach even as against the government.
One sees from this ruling OF Judge
Maginnis that the United States, as pro-
prietor Of the public lands. has no privil-
eyes against the private citizen. This is
democracy, and with the sanction of the
chief Justice VS. have a right to assert that
it Is also lau.

The first report of the present secretary
OF the interior favored the allotment of
lands in severalty to the individual Indians
OF the tribes at present kept on reserva-
tions. Now the experiment is to have
practical test in Oregon, as by n recent
order of Secretary Lamar the lands here
tofore held IN common are to be parcelled
out among the Warm Springs Indians of
Oregon. This is a step in the right direc-
ton. 1t has been generally theorined that
the native red man possesses the qualiica-
tons for citizenship; this will give 10" a
chance and will also throw open to settle
ment many thousand acres OF the best
lands of the public domain. Even if a
whole section be granted to each member
of a tribe there will ye, remain a surplus.

PARsON DOWNS CHURCH.
Opening of the BOwdoIn Square Church
Under New Title.

After a lapse of two years. the Baptist
Tabernacle formerly the BOwdon Square
meeting house, has been thrown Open and a
large company of the friends of the new en-
terprise inspected the sanctuary. But few
ministers were present, as most of them are
absent on vacations or at the Baptist camp
meeting at the Vineyard. Every one was
more than pleased with tho extensive alter
atoms. The three important particulars Of
light, ventilation and heating have been reg
ulated in the best manner.
The formal exercises were held in the audi
ence room. Rev. A. G. Lawson presided.
Rev. R. B. Moody offered prayer. DR.. Law
son made brief address, calling attention to
the Importance of the work entered upon.
He congratulated the committee upon their
choice of name, and expressed his convic-
ton that the work would justify the name,
and the building would be happy place Of
meeting for Christians with one another and
with their God. Rev. NJ. R. Deming pastor
of the Tabernacle, stated briefly the plan of
work already outlined, and called for volun-
teers in the various departments. A very
encouraging response was made, each person
signing his name and indicating the branch
of work he would make a speciality. Mr.
John II. Parker, superintendent of the Har-
ward Street Sunday school, urged the impor-
lance of new methods of work, and made a
very encouraging report of what had been
accomplished in his field.
Rev. w. |. Haven, pastor of the First M
r, church, in neat little speech, expressed
his pleasure in having new neighbcr and
ally in Christian work in the most densely
populated part of the city. A very pleasant
hour was spent in social singing and CONVEX
sation. A number of congratulations upon
the opening of the church were received by
letter and from outside parties whoa are inter
ested in the prosperity of the section of the
city surrounding Bowdoin square.

sticks, stones and Tricks Make Things
Lively Among Miners.
A fearful riot took place at Glen Lyon, five
miles from Nanticoke, Pa, in which 800
miners, men and women, engaged. 1t has
been the custom of several Hungarian and
Polish merchants of Nanticoke to send ped
lers to Glen Lyon daily to supply certain
boarding house keepers. The Susquehanna
Coal Company has always selected Saturday
for pay day. This time they paid the men
at Glen Lyon, or Morgantown, on Sunday,
the day chosen by the merchants to make
their collections. Rev Mr. Taggart of Glen
Lyon has frequently preached against this
Dissertation of the Sabbath, and finally deter
mined to put stop to it, if possible He or
ganized posse of his church members for
that purpose. The men got wind of it and
made up their minds to resist any overtures
of the kind The collectors made their APP
pearance, and the natural excitement of the
moment was augmented by universal in
diligence in beer and whiskey. The church
men became alarmed at the
situation and kept themselves in
hiding. The feeling of antagonism was
so intense, however, that it finally culmi-
mated in free fight between men of oppo-
site nationalities, maddened with drink.
Soon 800 persons, including some women,
were furiously engaged with sticks, stones
and clubs for weapons. The riot lasted q
half hour, and men were struck down on all
sides. Dozens were carried away with
cracked and bloody heads to their homes. A

ceased only when the participants were too

to control it, tho wild engine few westward
through the yard at West Philadelphia.
When it reached the Wilmington & Balti-
more railroad crossing, mile distant,
near Thirtieth street ON the elevated
track, it collided with engine No

alone, trying to back TO Broad street for his
train The force of the collision threw Kelly
